DREAM JOB?: Watch (And Blog About) Every Single Major League Baseball Game This Season

Major League Baseball is planning to hire a blogger to fill a
position the league calls "every baseball fan's dream job!" (The
exclamation point is theirs).

The position will require the blogger to watch every baseball
game this season and then write about those games and the
experience.

Let me repeat. The person will be required to watch Every.
Single. Game. including the All-Star game and playoff games. That
is as many as 2,472 games over the course of seven months if each
of the postseason series goes the distance.

With as many as 15 games and 45 hours of action each day, there
would have to be some overlap. Jeff Heckelman of Major League
Baseball said this won't be a problem.

"We’re still working out the details of the setting in which the
person will hang out," said Heckelman. "But suffice it to say it
will be a setting conducive to watching multiple games
simultaneously."

The person that is hired for this job will have to relocate to
New York City during the season. In addition to writing about the
games and their experience, they will be part of a show that will
air on the league's website and will participate in what
Heckelman called a "live interactive experience for baseball
fans."

Heckelman says MLB is looking for somebody that has an
encyclopedic knowledge of the entire league, is entertaining, has
a unique and humorous writing style and will be comfortable in
front of a camera.

MLB is also looking to capitalize on marketing and promotional
partnerships with what they are hoping is a popular project.
"We’re certainly talking about such opportunities internally, but
at this point we’re just focused on finding the right person and
the rest will follow."

The right person? Do you think my wife and two kids would mind if
I took the summer off to live in an MLB dorm?
